Consider the main advantages of using large deep structures:

Good warm	Experts have long determined that in constructions with deep pallets the cabin space warms up much faster, which ensures high comfort of hygienic procedures. If necessary, you can pour a little warm water into the tank, and it will help warm up the system even faster.
The opportunity to take a bath	Of course, the capacity of the pallet is smaller than in classical systems, however, it is possible to sit in it half-sitting, and remove the accumulated voltage with warm water. Many modifications include a drain plug especially for this purpose. In addition, you will not worry that water will fall over the side and flood the room, as is the case with low structures.
Rational decision	Shower cabins 120x80 with a high tray allow you to bathe children without problems. This factor is the most important for many, because young children still want to splash in the bath, and a cabin or corner not only allows you to do this, but also protects the room from splashes, which used to be a problem.
Ease of maintenance	Due to the fact that the shower tray is high, its outer surface is covered with a screen, which is easy to remove if necessary and check the system for leaks. You can easily replace or clean the siphon with your own hands, unlike low options, you do not have to tear the element off the cement glue and then put it back.

Note! Do not forget that the designs may have a different orientation, that is, be intended to be installed in different angles. Do not miss this nuance, since certain sides should be flush with the wall, and in case of an error, the product must be replaced.

A deep shower tray 120x80 can also be part of a corner, that is, a structure without internal walls

Useful information about deep pallets

If you decide to use just such an option, you should find out what types of systems are and how they differ from each other.

Types of construction

Immediately, we note that all versions of the products of this group are made of acrylic, since it is this material that provides high reliability, while its price is very reasonable and affordable. You are unlikely to find another solution, therefore we will consider acrylic products.

There are several basic options for sale:

Rectangular designs, They are ideal if the shower is located in a niche or standing, adjacent to one wall in a spacious room. Everything is simple here: a geometrically regular quadrilateral looks very attractive, because classics never go out of their fashion and fit most interiors.

Semicircular options designed to be installed in a corner, while, as noted above, the type of layout varies depending on the angle of location. In this case, you can find separately sold options that can be used in conjunction with a shower or closed with special curtains, or even simple rubberized curtains.
Products that are part of the booths, may, among other things, have additional functions in the form of hydromassage., this makes use even more comfortable. Such options were originally designed for a specific cabin model and most often cannot be used without it.

How to install the structure

The installation manual for the type of product under consideration has its own characteristics, we consider them in more detail:

First of all, the frame is assembled, the strength of the finished system directly depends on this element, therefore the more massive and reliable it is, the better. The ideal option is a square tube, with at least three reinforcing elements running along the bottom.
It is also very important that the construction has strong supports with the possibility of adjusting their position, since the floor surface is not always ideally even. And for proper operation, the pallet must be level.

Note! Sometimes the legs at the edges do not provide the necessary stability and strength, so after exposing the structure, you can add additional support from a wooden bar. Just measure the distance from the floor to the frame stiffness, cut the bar and secure it with a metal strip and screws.

The bar will help to achieve maximum rigidity

It is also very important to fix the structure near the wall; for this purpose, special clamps are used, which can be detached if necessary. Before this, be sure to treat the junction with a mold-resistant sealant.
After the construction is securely fixed, you can proceed to the fastening of the outer lining, this process is described in detail in the instructions, and there is an additional scheme, so you can easily cope with this work.

At the bottom of the design of the screw heads are closed with decorative plugs
